About the program: Generation Victoria (GenV)

GenV is a world-first initiative that transforms the whole of the State of Victoria into a single dynamic health and solutions platform, breaking down barriers in research to solve pressing questions and translating that into tangible actions that can improve the health, development and well- being of children and younger adults (their parents). One of the world’s largest birth and adult cohorts, GenV will be open to all 150,000 babies born in Victoria over two full years and their parents. Its design comprises consent; use of existing data and biosamples; augmented with GenV-specific measurement and biosamples; and a design to maximise its multi-use potential e.g. to support trials, registries, place and community, discovery and health services research at the population level. GenV’s activities and infrastructure are delivered by teams with diverse skillsets and backgrounds that come together in this single program. Learn more: www.genv.org.au
